Police Clearance (Foreign) For Canadian Citizenship

[J.Louis]

Hi, everyone!

I will apply for Canadian citizenship this August of 2020. I became a Permanent resident and landed in Canada in April 8, 2017. I was 19 years old. Before that date, I was in my country of origin. However, between my time as permanent resident, I went abroad in my country of origin once for 20 days.

Am I required to provide a police clearance from abroad or my country of origin?

Thanks.

After being a PR visa holder if you had only spent 20-days abroad, then you do not need to submit a PCC. That's my understanding.

No, you don't.
